In this episode, I’m sharing the real reasons why traditional physical therapy often doesn’t work for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and—most importantly—what actually DOES help improve strength, mobility, and daily activities for those of us living with MS. 


As a physical therapist who specializes in MS, I break down how MS-specific exercises, functional movement strategies, and neuroplasticity can make a big difference in walking, stair climbing, and overall independence. 


Tune in for evidence-based advice, practical tips, and empowering exercises tailored specifically for MS symptoms. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing MS for years, you’ll leave this episode with MS-friendly exercise solutions to help you strengthen your mind-body connection, improve mobility, and boost your quality of life!
